Liu Zheng took the tablet and glanced at the screen.
The screen showed footage that had probably been taken from the air by a drone.
A huge gap had appeared in the forest below. The Tiankeng was like a bottomless pit, a gaping maw of the abyss that swallowed everything.
"Let's go take a look here."
Liu Zheng lightly tapped the screen with his finger.
"Yes."
After answering, Chen Lu took out her Walkie-talkie and ordered the convoy to change course for the Tiankeng in the Safe Zone.
When they arrived nearby, Liu Zheng had already gained a basic understanding of what had happened to the gold-panning team.
The team had a complicated makeup and quite a few members. Their weapons and equipment were also fairly good.
Among the registered teams in Hong Yue Base, they could be considered quite strong overall. Every time they entered the Forbidden Land to pan for gold, they came away with something.
Their core members included Old Gao, Zhao Xing, and Wang Guofu.
There were also a dozen or twenty temporary members.
Gold-panning groups were all like this, consisting of core members and some temporary members.
Many temporary members would split up after working together once or twice. They usually did not stay with one team for very long.
Therefore, whenever danger arose, these temporary members were always the first to give up. Some teams would even use them as scapegoats.
That was why, among many gold-panning groups, temporary members had the highest mortality rate. It was uncommon for both the core and temporary members to be completely wiped out like this.

Liu Zheng opened the door and got out, then led the investigation team
